Energy Drink Market Analysis

  • The energy drinks market size is expected to grow from USD 60.78 billion for the current years and is projected to register a CAGR of 8.51% over the next five years.
  • The primary factor behind the significant market growth is the rise in consumption of soft drinks worldwide. A survey by The Federal Statistical Office shows that the annual average per capita consumption of soft drinks in Germany increased from 114.7 liters in 2020 to 118.4 liters in 2021. Apart from this, rapid urbanization, improving disposable incomes, and busy lifestyles of individuals are other major factors boosting market growth. Moreover, with the growing health consciousness among individuals, non-alcoholic beverages are gaining immense traction worldwide, propelling market growth.
  • According to UN Comtrade statistics, the amount of non-alcoholic beverages imported to Hungary peaked in 2022 at 174 million euros from 154 million euros in 2021. Furthermore, the increasing participation of individuals in professional sports, recreational outdoor activities, and exercise and physical fitness is creating demand for dietary supplements, such as energy drinks. Energy drinks are functional beverages that help increase energy and enhance mental alertness and physical performance.
  • Leading players are further focusing on developing sugar-free drinks to cater to the needs of individuals with diabetes and other chronic illnesses. For instance, in 2022, an Australian soft drinks company, Nexba, launched a range of caffeine- and sugar-free energy drinks with added vitamins and prebiotics. Nexba Natural Energy drinks are free from artificial ingredients and available in two flavors: Lemon & Yuzu and Wild Citrus. The company claims the flavors contain ginseng extract, vitamin B complex, and vitamin C to improve gut health and enhance energy levels. Therefore, the abovementioned factors will likely influence the market positively during the study period.

Energy Drink Market Trends

Consumers Seeking Healthier Alternatives to Alcoholic and Sugary Beverages

  • Alcohol consumption is among the top risk factors for disease globally. According to World Health Organization (WHO), the harmful use of alcohol is a causal factor in more than 200 disease and injury conditions. It causes over 3 million deaths yearly, representing 5.3% of all deaths. Furthermore, a survey published by The National Center for Health Statistics revealed that the death rate from alcohol abuse in the United States increased from 13.1 to 14.4 deaths per 100,000 population from 2020 to 2021. Therefore, there has been a rise in the demand for healthier alternatives to traditional alcoholic beverages to reduce alcohol dependence. This acts as the leading factor driving the market for energy drinks worldwide.
  • Apart from this, with the increasing prevalence of diabetes and other chronic illnesses, consumers are becoming more conscious of their diet and incorporating healthy eating habits into their daily routines. Moreover, key players are capitalizing on customers’ demand for lower sugar options to expand their consumer base. For instance, in 2023, Rockstar Energy expanded its product portfolio by launching two refreshing, zero-sugar flavors, namely Rockstar Refresh Strawberry & Lime and Watermelon & Kiwi. The company claims the flavors provide delicious, refreshing flavors with a crisp finish, high in vitamin C, zero sugar, and only 21 calories per can. Such factors are anticipated to provide a thrust to the market in the future.

North America Dominates the Market

  • The major constituent in most energy drinks is caffeine. According to the United States Association, about 90% of Americans consume caffeine regularly. This represents the major sustenance factor for the high consumption of energy drinks in North America. Moreover, with high-income levels and health consciousness, individuals seek active lifestyles, leading to increased interest in sports and other sorts of physical activities. 
  • As a result, key players capitalize on these marketing outlets to reach a broader consumer base. For instance, in 2021, Red Bull, an Austrian company mainly focused on energy drinks, started its newest world sports series, the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship, as a part of its sports-based marketing strategy. These marketing strategies are a success story of making a specific drink well-known, especially among young people.
  • Furthermore, exposure to digital marketing enhances interest in energy drinks among young adults, especially the Gen Z population. Gen Z is attracting interest as the most recent generational cohort of consumers and encouraging leading players to adopt innovative strategies to keep up with evolving trends and retain their position in the market. For instance, in July 2023, C4 Energy, an American energy drink brand, partnered with WWE to roll out its new co-branded energy drink products. According to the company’s claims, this partnership is crucial for targeting Gen Z consumers, who seek authenticity from marketers and influencers.
